Which has more electron affinity oxygen or sulphur?

Sulphur. Please see the link.


Why sulphur have higher negative electron affinity than oxygen?

Due to small size and high electron density of oxygen compared to sulphur, interelectronic repulsion is higher in oxygen, resulting in less energy being released when an electron is added to oxygen, due to lesser stability after electron is added, which is due to the interelectronic repulsion in the small oxygen atom. Hence electron affinity value is lower. It is an abnormality and exception to the general periodic trend of electronic affinity values.


Does magnesium sodium neon or oxygen have the highest first electron affinity?

Oxygen: It has higher electronegativity than any of the others listed.


Is oxygen has more electron affinity than sulfur?

Yes. Oxygen has greater electron affinity than any other element except fluorine.


Which element in Group 13 has the lowest electron affinity?

Polonium has the lowest electron affinity in the oxygen family.


The highest oxygen affinity is demonstrated by?

Combustion


Which have more electron shells oxygen or sulfur?

Sulphur


Which has lower electron affinity between oxygen and fluorine?

This element is fluorine.


Which has more electron affinity oxygen or chlorine?

Electron affinity of chlorine is far grater than oxygen. For oxygen, its value is 141 KJ/mole whereas for Chlorine, it is 349 KJ/mole. Thus, adding an electron is more favourable in case of a gaseous chlorine atom


What is the second electron affinity positive or negative?

It is positive. In relation to oxygen at least.


Why oxygen is needed for oxidative phosphorelation?

It's the final electron acceptor, due to its high affinity for electrons.


When is a polar molecule?

when one part of it has a higher electron affinity that isn't canceled out by another. example: H2O H-O-H Oxygen has a very high electron affinity, it pulls on electrons a lot harder than other atoms (except fluorine, which has the highest electron affinity). Oxygen pulls the electrons away from the hydrogen atoms giving it a relatively negative charge, and giving the hydrogen atoms a positive charge. But: CO2 O-C-O Both Oxygen atoms are pulling on the electrons the same amount so there aren't any more in one part of the molecule than another. That's the basic explanation.
